Question: Most of the times we are not in the association of devotees. which gives us inspiration in our devotional service. How to be in touch with great souls so that we can practice bhakti enthusiastically?

Jayapataka Swami: By reading the Srimad Bhagavatam and the Caitanya Caritamrita, we naturally get association from great souls, because every page tells about some pastime which involves the Lord and some great souls. Apart from that, like I try to give class, I don’t consider myself a great soul but, anyway I try to give class every night and somewhere between 7.30 or 8 to 9. Sometimes it is a little late. So you can tune in and see my class, or you can get tapes and audio of different great souls, tapes or classes, my class, Radhanath Swami’s class, you can download from Iskcon Desire Tree or JPS Archives and you can listen, or you can have Srila Prabhupada’s lecture series, in different ways you can associate with great souls or devotees, pure devotees, through the audio classes.
